Ross Jensen

Ross Jensen - The immortal Presense of Socrates
  • Gain knowledge and immortality
  • Didn't write anything down, and yet Socrates is still immortal.

Socrates -

Recipe:

  • 1 cup Plato - most comprehensive works recording Socrates.
  • 1 Tbsp. Aristotle - not biographical at all
  • 1 tsp. Xenophon - only delves into the ethical issues.
  • Pinch of Aristophanes
  • Everything taken with a grain of salt.

Info:

  • accused of corrupting the youth
  • said he should be rewarded, not punished
  • Jesus & Aristotle were both influencial, didn't write anything down, and were martyrs.
  • Socrates present in the psyche of all.
